Calculate Delta G ( in kJ / mol ) for the reaction ADP + Pi + H + ATP + H 2 O using

Calculate \Delta G (in kJ/mol) for the reaction ADP + Pi + H+ ATP + H2O using the proton motive force (\Delta pH and \Delta \Psi ) generated during oxidative phosphorylation. (10 points) Consider that:
ADP and Pi concentration =10\mu M
ATP concentration =5 mM
pH gradient (\Delta pH)=1.0(pH difference between mitochondrial matrix and intermembrane space)
Membrane potential (\Delta \Psi )=-180 mV (inside negative with respect to outside)
\Delta G' for ATP synthesis at pH 7 and 25\deg C, which is -30.5 kJ/mol
Gas constant (8.314 J/(molK))
F is the Faraday constant (96.485 kC/mol).
T in Kelvin (298 K)
1 proton is translocated during the synthesis of one ATP molecule.
